well organized tour; no time to enjoy

Reviewed by: Miguel Magalhaes , 2019/08/07

The tour is well organized. Hotel pickup worked. The guide was good. But once inside the Alhambra, it feels like a race against the clock. There was almost no time to enjoy that beautiful place.

Beautiful tour of well preserved history. Excellent views but poor timing of delivery.

Reviewed by: Grantham, 2019/03/23

This was a wonderful day but perhaps the timing could have been more on point. This resulted in a rushed finish so that fellow travellers could be on time for train connections. Pick up was good but then we got dropped in an office and told a guide would be with us. The drop off procedure was not great. Our guide was knowledgeable but stood in one place for lengthy talks rather than keep moving. Also, a 5min break turned into a 20min break putting pressure on the finishing time. 11.40am to 3.55pm.

Fabulous!!

Reviewed by: PauleneCrossley, 2018/06/17

Our tour was at 4.15/4.30 which was ideal as it was a pretty hot day. All of the sights we saw were fabulous but the palaces were spectacular, as was their history and as was the view over Granada.
Our guide was friendly, approachable, professional and knowledgeable. But best of all, he was all ours!!! We were a party of four and were the sole charges of Felipe. He went at our speed and was most concerned for our comfort and well being, especially as one of our party needed a walking stick.

Cannot commend Felipe enough!

The all day ticket gives you time to make the tour leisurely particularly to enjoy the Generalife gardens.

We spent three weeks in Spain, and our trip to Granada and the guided tour of the Alhambra was the top of our list of things we did. Our guide was outstanding, and we came away with a wonderful understanding of the Moorish period in Spain and a great appreciation for the art and beauty of their culture.

It was an organized and informative tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. But, I think it was too much information to absorb in a short period of time and therefore I don't remember a lot. Less would be more....

As we had a person in the party who required some use of a wheel chair I new it was not going to be easy, however every effort was made to accommodate the situation with the result that the person in question enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to anyone providing you have some walking ability. for the rest of us it was very good indeed. The Alhambra experience was one not to be missed and the guide was first class. The Flamenco show was made even better with the taking of the meal option with it.

Alhambra tour is a must do. The Tour guide Tarek was more than knowledgeable and explained everything in details. Pick up from the hotel and dropping off back was very helpful. All the staff personal were very helpful and nice and explained things even beyond the tour . Thank you everyone for a very nice experience.

The alhambra is an amazing place. We were touring around Spain, and it was the highlight of the trip. The audio guide which was part of this package was great, although no earphones were supplied. A couple of irritating points were that the numbers you typed in to hear the comments did not match those at the alhambra, and some locations had no descriptions available - notably two museums within the complex. Finding the office was easy enough and it was quick to check out and check in the audio guides.

Our visit to the Alhambra was the highlight of our stay in Granada. More than interesting, it offers an insight into 800 years of Moorish influence in southern Spain. Our guide, Carlos, was extremely knowledgeable and impressively, spoke six languages. An absolute must if you visit the city of Granada.

The reviews we had already read explain all the tricks and traps. This is a "bucket list" experience, made easy by City Discovery. Can recommend you pick up a copy of "Tales of the Alhambra" by Washington Irving (available from better souvenir haunts). I am reading it on my way back to Australia, and it brings the whole experience to life.
